Dialogue[edit]

After starting the update
Quimby What, eh, great turn out for tonight's town hall meeting! You people do love your civic duty.
Moe - Annoyed The poster said free pretzels. I've got a bar to stock!
Barney Yeah. I need those pretzels. They're like a paper towel for my liver.
Quimby The pretzels like many of our city programs are now known as F.R.E.E.
Lisa - Curious Wait, what's F.R.E.E.?
Quimby - Happy Funding Rescinded; Entrepreneurs Encouraged!
Marge - Confused And what does that mean?
Quimby That we get to privatize our fine institutions and let them thrive on the free market.
Lisa - Eyeroll And when has that ever worked?
Quimby Never, except right now!
Marge - Confused But who will run our schools? Who will light our streets? Who will salt our roads?
Homer - Annoyed Mmmm salt... Hey! Weren't we promised pretzels? Don't we have any integrity left in politics?!
Wiggum - Abrupt You've heard of good cop/bad cop? Well, I'm a carb cop. And if I don't get wheat, I'm rioting in the street!
Quimby - Annoyed FINE! I'll get you a bag of pretzels. And then I'll strip away your basic civil services.
Homer - Happy Finally! That's all we ask!
Task: "Make Homer Wait for Pretzels". The job takes place at the Town Hall, Springfield County Court House, International Court of Justice, or a Visitable Home and takes 6 seconds.
If Wiggum is owned: Task: "Make Wiggum Prepare to Riot". The job takes place at the Town Hall, Springfield County Court House, International Court of Justice, or a Visitable Home and takes 6 seconds.

Homer - Mouth Full Blood sugar rising, desire for social change lowering.
Quimby - Happy Those Romans really had the right idea with bread and circuses.
Bart - Happy The circus is coming to town?
Quimby Not unless it's privately funded and operated. We've got to trim the fat.
Wiggum - Happy You're right! A healthy fat would really help this pretzel. Maybe something in the nougat variety?
Lisa - Curious What exactly are you cutting from the budget, Mayor Quimby?
Quimby - Smug Not cutting, privatizing. And, eh, everything. With the exception of the mayor's mansion. That's still classified as a municipal park that no one except me is allowed into.
